Used to think that was nonsense but now I get it.

Yeah that balance between clean drafts and early notes is everything. If your rough scale notes are off even a little, you can build a whole layout on a wrong foundation and have to tear it down later. That's when you waste a massive amount of time fixing things you could've figured out upfront.

Man, my friend bounced off Scratch but loved wiring up real LEDs with Arduino.

Bro have you actually tried good palate cleansers? @the_jake, water just washes things down, it doesn't reset your taste buds. Something like a bit of ginger or a light sorbet actively cuts through the old flavor so you can taste the next thing properly. It's the difference between wiping a whiteboard with a damp rag versus actually using the cleaner spray. You're missing out on the whole point of a tasting experience if you just guzzle water.

But what about the people who own the content? (I mean, they deserve protection too.) Automated systems are not perfect, but they stop a lot of real theft. Pushing back on every claim can take too much time and money. For small blogs, it might be smarter to just use original stuff. I've seen friends get bogged down in disputes that went nowhere. The web can be open without letting everyone use whatever they want.
